A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
Posts must be original/unique
Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

If restaurants just microwave their food can I just get the frozen version and cut out the middle man? (midwest.social)

OP asks for a source for the frozen food that restaurants microwave. Your response is a 14 step recipe to make potato skins.

Yep.

Sometimes the answer you need is to the question you didn't ask.

Edit: I'll add that I've tried buying restaurant branded potato skins from the grocery store, and they were absolute crap, worse even than the frozen ones that the restaurant was microwaving.

I don't think there's going to be any way to buy what the restaurants purchases, unless you're able to buy in bulk, or find someone who's willing to sell you some that "fell off the truck"
